Quote from Brass:
Jem, why don't you just shut up. Don't pretend you adequately understand something in which you have absolutely no grounding. Just as you cut and paste shit you don't understand, I could have done the same by writing "The ultimate theory must be consistent and must predict finite results for quantities that we can measure. There must be a law like gravity, and for a theory of gravity to predict finite quantitie, the theory must have what is called supersymmetry between the forces of nature and the matter on which they act. Supersymmetry is a subtle kind of symmetry that cannot be associated with a transformation of ordinary space. One of the important implications of supersymmetry is that force particles and matter particles, and hence force and matter, are really just two facets of the same thing. M-theory is the most general supersymmetric theory of gravity. For these reasons, M-theory is the only candidate for a complete theory of the universe. If it is finite -- and this has yet to be proved -- it will be a model of the universe that creates itself, because there is no other consistent model."
Do you actually have a working understand of what I just wrote? I don't, and I very much doubt that you do since you don't even understand the general science behind evolution, which is much more accessible.
So stop posturing with "my cut&paste is better than yours." Stop being a poseur.
yes i do... as you were posting I edited my post above and put it as simply as I could for you.
You have to understand that Science has no explanation of the fine tuning.. Other than the non scientific explanation there was super smart creator. so bottom up does not work for science. There is no theory of everything to explain how this tuning can be.
So Hawking goes with M Theory... and refines it to M Theory with a top down approach. So we are in the end product of a tree of choices.
But even then it is still amazing we are here to observe. So he brings in the unobserved idea of super symmetry to substitute for the Theory of Everything in M Theory or string theory.
Now going back in time it is still unreal given the initial parameters that we are here to observe. So how did this happen? How was all this fine tuning accomplished.
Well it happen because we are in a universe with gravity. Gravity is what makes this line of universes tick. If Gravity was not the way it is... we could not have the consistences of constants and matter which make a universe. Without gravity there would be no predictions and no universe (for us).
How is that for layman... in 5 minutes.
